Nursing as quoted by the American Nurses Association, “Nursing is the protection, promotion, and optimization of health and abilities; prevention of illness and injury; alleviation of suffering through the diagnosis and treatment of human responses; and advocacy in health care for individuals, families, communities, and populations. Nursing has all types of fields that you can go venture off into. I wanted to look at registered nurses compared to licensed nurses. I wanted to list the differences as well. Nursing takes special people that are given a task to help with the sick and dying. I felt like with this essay it would give nurses more credit than what they receive. Licensed practical nurses care for the sick, injured, convalescent, and disabled under the direction of physicians and registered nurses. We also prepare and give injections and enemas, monitor catheters, apply dressings, treat bedsores, and give alcohol rubs and massage as I learned today. We give baths and help the patient with personal hygiene. RN’s tasks and duties are about the same. RN’s collect sample, feed patients, take patient food intake and out. They also work to prevent disease and promote health just as licensed nurses. We both teach patients, families, and friends how to care for the patient and their needs. On the other hand, there are many differences from the RN’s as well as the LPN. The pay is more because they have more time for schooling. Many supervisory positions are given to the registered nurse. The four year program allows the nurse to help doctors with treatments and examinations. I’ve noticed too depending on the site RN’s tend to develop and manage their own nursing plans. As I mentioned early nursing takes a special people to handle that tasks that our bestowed on us. The medical field can be very stressful and draining. The work requires that you stand on your feet and can be able body to complete the tasks. The essay that I wrote...

Loneliness is the Common Ground
Loneliness and alienation is a feeling that most everyone feels at one point or another anywhere in the world. The poems “Embrace” by Billy Collins and “Daystar” by Rita Dove share this theme in common. After thoroughly reading both I was able to compare the two poems beyond its similar theme and as well as highlight their differences by analyzing the different ways they utilize literary devices to convey their message.
The most efficient way for a poem to speak to the reader is by using metaphors, indirectly representing an image or an even. In both poems the authors use metaphors as a way to grasp the reader into the text and make them think beyond the obvious. In Billy Collins’ poem it compares a man embracing himself to a man in a strait jacket. When first reading the poem without the reference to the strait jacket one might think he would be joking and would not look into the desperation the character might really be in. Once Collins’ introduces the idea of a man being tailored for a strait jacket it really leads the reader to think about the tragic reality of this man’s loneliness. The description of the man’s “screwy grin” just reassures the reader of this man’s insanity caused by his lonesomeness.
Dove also opens up her poem with a metaphor that gives the reader background to the characters tiredness from motherhood and running...

...Essay 2 Compare and Contrast
The two stories the between the Sexes, a Great divide and Being a Man are both stories that speak about the different sexes and their characteristics. Between the Sexes, a Great Divide”, written by Anna Quindlen, is an article that talks about the differences between men and women. She writes about her belief that boys and girls are essentially different, and have always been dissimilar. She transcribes that middle school dances is where the differences are most apparent because of the ‘great divide’ that occurs on the dance floor. She believes that a divide occurs “not because of big differences among us, but because of the small ones” (601).
Eventually, though, both genders have to come together as a couple and work well together to live in society peacefully. As they come together, some couples start a family. These children are now being raised in homes where “mothers do things that fathers once did, and vice versa” (601). I believe that we are raised to be two different genders. I believe that there is a physical difference between men and women, but not as much an emotional one. The physical differences between men and women are quite apparent. Men are typically taller and more muscular, while women are petite and curvy. I believe that a great divide may exist between men and women; however, this occurs because of the way we are raised.

In life some people think all you need in life to survive and be happy is love, but others thinking that money is the answer to life’s problems. In the stories “The Necklace” and “The Gift of the Magi” it portrays the lives of two main characters that deal with problems of their own. One dong it out of love, and the other for greed.
Within both stories there are many differences and similarities that deal with how they handle their situations.
In the story “The Necklace” the main character, Mathilda Losisel, is unhappily married to a clerk, and is ungrateful of the life she is living. She thinks that she deserves to be living a better lifestyle, and that materialistic objects and fancy things will make her happy rather than love. Mathilda is invited to the ball in the beginning of the story, and immediately she turns selfish and wants her husband to get the things she desires for her ball. Her husband tries everything he can to please his wife in every way that he could do to try to make her happy. Not once in the story did she say thank you for her husband’s efforts because she wasn’t thankful for what he had done for her. She also borrows an expensive necklace from one of her close friends. As she was partying away at the ball, she did not once think about her husband. She was more focused on the fact that other people were giving her attention. Later on in the story...

The fascination of Marilyn Monroe and Audrey Hepburn still stays strong to this day. We often find ourselves loving the idea of these two flawless icons. Everyone wanted to be them then, and it is still true today. They were two major icons in the 1950’s. They were two beautiful, inspirational women. Marilyn Monroe and Audrey Hepburn really did live the lifestyles of the rich and the famous. Most people only see the similarities, but in fact, they are more different than some may think.
Brought into this world in June of 1926 was a baby girl named Norma Jeane Mortenson, otherwise known as Marilyn Monroe. Her childhood was mostly spent in the orphanages and foster homes in California. This was a result of never having her father a part of her life and her mother being clinically psychotic. Therefore, she was not able to be taken care of by her own family. Marilyn wanted so badly to be out of the system before the legal age; she married at a young age to James Dougherty. Not being a ward of the state anymore began the career of Marilyn’s. It all started with a modeling job in 1943 when she was 17 years old.
Shortly after, Marilyn began her modeling career and she was offered an acting contract in 1946. Monroe was different; she was not seen as a serious actress. Her blonde hair, short dresses, and hour glass figure won her multiple “dumb blonde” roles. Although she was not taken serious, the world loved her. She mainly...

...﻿ Effects of Sibling Rivalry
Sibling rivalry is nothing new, it's been around since basically the beginning of time. One of the first stories in the Bible deals with sibling rivalry between the two brothers, Cain and Abel. We can see it resulting from the older brother, Cain, who is frustrated by the approval Abel received , to which he so greatly desired but was never given. In the end Cain kills his brother because of the jealousy and contempt he has for him. Showing us the first account of murder resulting from sibling rivalry.
A sibling is a relative who may live in the same household as one's brother or sister. A rival is an opponent to whom one may feel competitive and hostile towards. So the term, "sibling rivalry" is meant to describe the result of this competition between brothers and or sisters. Whether its pulling hair, fighting over any particular item, or in general trying the patience of parents to upmost limit are examples of competition between siblings. Which, as stated before in the Biblical case of Cain and Abel, sibling rivalry can carry on into adulthood, and possibly end in a terrible death.
It's not hard to distinguish the reason behind the cause of sibling rivalry because the fight for survival can also be found in nature. For example, kittens or puppies will fight one another for food in a way that may even cause the weakest in the litter or the "runt" to struggle toward ever reaching average size or even die from lack of nutrition....

...There are only a couple things that are the same when it comes to track &amp; field and cross country, but there are so many differences even though they are the main running sports. A lot of people might think they are kind of the same thing because they are both the 2 main running sports. But nothing about track and cross country are really the same when you think about it. A runner knows the difference.
When people say cross country that is exactly what it means, because you are doing all kinds of miles in practices even more then what you run in a race. During the cross country meets you will be doing a 3.2 mile course for the ladies and a 5 mile course for the men, with all different types of hills, rocky paths, and some times even muddy or weight paths. A lot of people think why its so hard because all that stuff that they have to go though while running and it takes up a lot of you energy which is true, because going up hills is hard because you have to push off your feet the whole time going up you cant take your time because you will not get anywhere. Then the rocky paths are kind of hard because its just all rocks and sometimes you can roll you ankle on them. Then the muddy or wet paths your feet just sink in a lot which can take some time off of what you run.
When your doing track &amp; field there are so many different things that u can choose from, you can really find something that u could be good at. For the running there is the sprints, mid distance,...
